Sugar And Excess Weight: Evidence Mounts
This study confirms that it’s calories that count when it comes to weight loss, not uniquely calories from sugar. As the authors noted, when calories from sugar were replaced with calories from carbohydrates, there was no change in weight. This would not have been the case if sugars had a unique effect on body weight.” Sugar & Weight: Perspective The results suggest sugar increases body weight mainly by encouraging overeating, according to Walter Willett, MD, PhD, MPH, chair of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health. He co-wrote an editorial to accompany the study. However, he writes, many questions r...

Stanford Initiative Aims to Educate Media About Responsible Suicide Reporting
In 2017, the popular Netflix drama “13 Reasons Why” became one of the most controversial series of the year because of its depiction of the fictional suicide of a 17-year-old girl. After its release, Google searches for “how to commit suicide” and “how to kill yourself”increased dramatically, and a 2020study reported that the suicide rate among youth spiked 29% above historical trends in the month after the release of “13 Reasons Why.”It is not surprising: An enormous body of research from American and international researchers —some of it dating back to the 1980s—has firmly established that certain kin...

High-Fiber Diet Linked To Lower Risk Of Death And Chronic Illness

Dietary fiber includes plant-based carbohydrates such as whole-grain cereal, seeds and some legumes. Fiber’s health benefits have been recorded “by over 100 years of research,” Andrew Reynolds, a researcher at the University of Otago in New Zealand, wrote in an email. He is co-author of the new meta-analysis of existing research, which was published Thursday in the journal The Lancet. The research shows that high...

Individualised Versus Standardised Assessment of Quality of Life in Eating Disorders
Abstract Individualised measures of quality of life (QoL) refer to instruments that encourage the respondent to actively elicit which areas of their life are most relevant for his/her QoL. The aim of this study is to compare individualised versus standard measures of QoL in a sample of patients with eating disorder (ED). The Schedule for the Evaluation of the Individual Quality of Life (SEIQoL) and a generic measure of QoL [World Health Organization Brief Quality of Life Assessment Scale (WHOQOL‐BREF)] were applied on two occasions (one‐year follow‐up) to a sample of 165 patients with ED, 57 recovered patients with E...
